Re: Airds in Canada

The answer is yes,supposedly John born 1702 and Ann Campbell were married in 1738 in Riccarton and Kilmarnock Ayr.They had at least 12 children. James, William, George were fur traders and there is lots on the internet about them.Robert married Janet Findlay in 1782 and lived in Quebec,They had 9 children including Rosina born 23 March 1791 died 1832 married Adam Macnider. His son Robert born 1799 married Mary Mundell in Quebec city died 1867.I have a lot on that family that I don't think I am related for in my quest to find William Aird born 1783 living in Kirkmichael and married in Straiton. There is a discrepancy of the parents of John aird who married Ann Campbell. one source says Adam of Catrine and Jean dunbar and another clearly says Elizabeth Hunter andJohn Aird in Maybole area.I am just concerned with Airds in Kirkmichael area and Quebec city and Montreal.My William Aird married Mary Hunter dau of David Hunter and Isabel Anderson of Wee Mossend who came to Canada about 1828.Julia@sauter.ca
